Gilmore Girls: A Year in Life

After watching 7 seasons in a row for this show, I couldn’t resist watching this one as well. I have to admit though, it was a little disappointing.  I believe that for people who had seen the show back in time when it was still being produced, this new season could be interesting, like a trip down memory lane, yet, for me… I don’t know, I just felt like it lacked something… substance maybe. I liked Rory’s dilemma , it felt so real and current and I think it actually raised my expectations, but then… Lorelay and Luke didn’t really evolve within all these years, while Paris evolved way too much, too quickly… Well, there really isn’t that much more to say about this new reboot . I loved the original show, but I guess I was sort of expecting something different from this one. 

A Storm of Swords

One more from A Song of Ice and Fire and plenty more hours of absolute focus and heart-wrenching emotion. The story is evolving magnificently and I’m falling more and more in love with this saga.  In the third book, more characters gain a clear voice and that, in turn, enriches the story, letting us have a notion of what they think and why they act the way they do. It makes them more human and as such, more interesting and captivating.  Of course, there is an underlying problem with this… We are talking about a book with plenty of characters, so sometimes it takes a lot of chapters to get back to the one you were wondering about and you might get a little lost. Many things are enlightening given the new characters voices and minds. Much more of the background story is clearer now, for example. Sometimes it might just seem like details in the whole story but, somehow it grants it more consistency, and some of its events. It gives further depth to some char...

World War Z

I saw this movie on one of those nights where you’re not sure what you should do. It was my husband’s day off work and our little baby was already asleep, so, should we watch something? Sure! But what? So, I opened Netflix and saw this movie and why not a zombie flick? Let’s do it. Well, I’m not sure what I can say about it. I mean, it’s not a terrible movie, it has a somewhat  interesting plot and a decent cast, but, come on! The zombies run! And jump… even climb! I was so shocked by this, I couldn’t even understand it at first. How was that possible, right? Well, it’s… creative, I guess. I usually like zombie movies and apocalyptic scenarios but this one was a bit too open minded for me. I’m sorry but, the zombies run and jump! I just can’t get over it! Anyway, it can be a good movie with just the right company. At least, you’ll get a few laughs. ;)
